Right-wing begoted extremist policy "analysis" disguised as "intelectuals"
Denied my Sba loan..cannot find my Lcc which I have had since 2016.

They just deny me and don't even call. Just send emails.
I never got any help. I guess I should have made fake llcs and applied to ppp loans and sba.
How’s the head hunting for all those who got rich manipulating COVID loans? Maybe those of us who were honest and followed the rules should reap what restitution exists after legal fees?
Establish conclusions based on policy then fill in supporting information. Extremely biased
If you are right-wing you will love this organization, if you are left-wing you will absolutely despise it. That should tell you everything you need to know.
One of the few institutions in NYC that will counter the narrative from the main stream media. Articles are always well researched and supported by facts. Not surprisingly, the haters leaving 1 star reviews provide no data to support their accusations and in typical fashion resort to the use of ad hominem. If speaking the truth makes you a right winger, the Manhattan Institute is guilty as charged.
I just read an article that was so incredibly biased, skewed, inaccurate, and designed to scare the reader, I had to look up who was behind it. It turns it out City Journal is part of Manhattan Institute.
I came across the recent interview with the Manhattan institute president. He comes across as a very serious man wishing to bring the institutes ideas to the Village Square for discussion. I find it surprising some people that are frightened by ideas that are put on the table for discussion. That’s how solutions are made, but so often in these large cities we see the proverbial tin can being kicked down the road. I’m glad to see the Manhattan Institute coming to the table with ideas that could make United States better.
Unbelievably biased and misleading right wing organization framing itself as a "think tank" while simply pushing the same false narratives used by conservative pundits hiding behind an air of pseudo-intellectualism and a few degrees. These people are not experts and represent fringe view points in an attempt to reassert outdated ideologies.

If I could I would give this place no stars at all. The community engagement coordinator Ijendu Obasi, in charge of The Bronx gardens told me that he was taught to "look down" on people that volunteer in the gardens because he has two masters degrees and they are on public assistance. New York resident taxes pay his salary and he is looking down on who? And when I reported his treatment of the gardeners, nothing was done about him. These people are EVIL! If you want to volunteer for your community there are BETTER organizations to choose from, this is not one of them. Volunteers deserve better treatment than this.
Particular employee Mary was extremely unprofessional & did not know about any of the health laws regarding to benefits approval. An mandatory requirement for every homeless client to receive an caseworker to assist them. Mary argued with MBI & Life Enhancement that they were refusing services after I needed services . She insisted upon me to believe her in that the laws of DC benefits did allow unto myself regardless of having federal benefits. I had an concussion etc & the injuries included such confusion yet she stood over me as I sat in doing this & the mental authority misconduct had to be broken. Mary departed the building & I never saw her again after I stood up & spoke to her. Such abuse of ones authority & to present me before everyone as if it was myself not completing a task. I pray she considers her ways & not bully narcissist another homeless human being who has to be vunerable & trusting. Everyone experiences trials but retreated immediately after it was publicly made clear what she had done. UNBELIEVABLE MISCONDUCT. NICHOLE PROVIDED THE FACTS & HAS SET UP THE EXACT OPPORTUNITY I NEDED TO ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL. 💥🤍 MANAGER 🤍💥 PLEASE JUSTLY COMMEND THE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE CALL LINE. .

THANK YOU AGAIN NICHOLE 🙏🙏🙏 looks like I am back were I started. Nichole scheduled the appointment but no call of the appt still as I was told I would receive....

They help a bit, but not enough from my point of view, and sometimes I feel they gave us supplies just because they need to spend money. They should hire people with gardening background or huge interest in gardening.
If the recent interview by Mark Mills on John Stossel is any indication of MIs research and policy approach we are in trouble. I’ve never seen a more biased misinformed piece of reporting. More oil and gas protectionism. Disappointing. Please do better MI.
Wow! Biden and his bone heads are really trying to destroy the small businesses at the ground level. I have contacted several SBA offices in LA, California, and finally Washington DC. I have a simple question in regards to a Service Connected Disabled Owned Business Certification and Officers in the SBA and SCORE are no where to be found. I got one on the phone in DC and then she hung up on me. What are these Communistic Democrats doing to us?

It's great!
Been waiting on EIDL assistance for close to a year. Every few months they ask for same documents, so I resend several times. I check in with them every month or so on status, nothing new. Today I call for status "Sir it is YOUR FAULT the request is taking so long. You need to call us every few days. We don't have to time to call everyone." Typical government worker. SBA will save non tax paying churchs but not struggling small businesses.
Been approved and waiting for my deposit for nearly 6 months now. In This time I’ve lost just about everything I worked 6 years to get. The SBA has broken my spirit for small business. My experience with the SBA has been so alienating and damaging to my life that their is no way the SBA has an updated policy for disaster response. I’m just waiting on a deposit. No one knows the answer. Their seems to be a mystery around my application that no one in the United States can solve. I’ve talked to at least 10 people working at the SBA none of them had an answer to my problem and none of them sought to endeavor to find an answer. The sba is trash
The customer service and willingness to assist customers at this location is a welcomed community asset! The USPS is also hiring for holiday help which is truly cool for those looking to earn some extra income.
I've been waiting over 11 months for EIDL, they wont tell my why it is taking so long. No one responds to multiple emails and phone support refuses to escalate to a tier 2 person to look it over. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. I'm sure all of the non-tax paying churches that received PPP/EIDL love you though.
They denied my application with out enough reason. I am individual cab driver and i don't have any office working with YC DC and of course when i apply for grant they denied my application in two reasons 1) that my business address is not in low income area. ( i told them that i don't have office ). 2) that i have unpaid child support fee which is completely wrong because i never have that kind of issue in general they don't want help so disappointed.
Plenty of areas of opportunity for improvement; especially in offering free, fair advocacy to assist with in-depth grievance and appeal processes.

WHY IS MY HAMILTON HASA CENTER ON 135TH BTW AMSTERDAM & BROADWAY CLOSED TEMPORARILY?????_IT'S BEEN 6 MONTHS NOW???_am still not able to grasp something i truly wanted , like am at a place from far my current center because my team of enlightenment don't respect their clients enough to listen to what they want, but besides that, it's q great place, i would love to work there and brainstorm some great ideas for the program, have this whimsical idea ... it's not complicated nor a burden to do a special thing in life besides stressing and being kinda loopy but guess it's embarrassing to have someone care

It sucks
They deserve them..
They never returned my call. Next week I roll up on them.
Chris Blosser and John Magistro have been very helpful in educating me about the Loudoun Made - Loudoun Grown Grant Program, and helping Uncork Loudoun apply for a Grant of $5,000 for the 2020 Program.
May 28 2019 it doesn't matter what response the SBA is given it will not look into the matter.

I added a copy of the letter sent to me.

My reason for the 2 star review is because I'm waiting to see what the SBA Ombudsman does. Because the CFPB didn't do it's job I can't hire people. People don't work for free.
When a bank decides to keep a business's funding for itself, job creation becomes impossible. I sent my records to the National Ombudsman who is having the SBA Ombudsman looking at all of the damage the CFPB caused my businesses because the CFPB did not do it's job.

When the SBA Ombudsman responds I will adjust this rating up or down.

The Pharmacy is the worst place. The waiting time is over an hour to get your meds. The staff are unprofessional and rude.
the institution i contacted for a microloan for marketing to an already researched segment and established statistically measured retun in terms of percentage. for an already startup and ready to hit the ground running,requirements for a micro loan is impossible to meet--3-6 months of positive cash flow is impossible. so disappointed .
